Fractional HR · Raleigh-Durham, NC
Senior HR Leadership.
Monthly Retainer.
No Full-Time Hire Required.
Fractional HR for growing Raleigh-Durham businesses.
Repete Partners embeds as your right-hand HR partner — protecting your business, supporting your team, and building the people infrastructure you need to scale.
No pitch. Just an honest conversation about where your business stands.
The Problem
Your business is growing — but HR is starting to feel like a liability, not an asset.
Your handbook hasn’t been touched in years. You’re not sure if your employees are classified correctly. You handled that last performance issue yourself and spent three nights wondering if you did it right.
You don’t need a $120,000 HR director. You need a senior partner who knows your business and shows up when it matters.
The Solution
A dedicated, senior-level HR partner — without the overhead.
Repete Partners works with small and mid-sized businesses in the Triangle on a simple monthly retainer. You get an HR partner who is available, responsive, and embedded in your business — so we handle the complexity while you focus on growth.
Protected
Stay ahead of compliance risk — employment law, classification, documentation, and everything in between.
Supported
From difficult terminations to performance frameworks to onboarding programs, you’ll never navigate people decisions alone.
Scalable
We build HR infrastructure that grows with your business — so the people side of your company is an advantage, not a bottleneck.

About
Senior HR expertise, built for businesses like yours.
I’m Brian Peters, founder of Repete Partners and a SHRM-SCP certified HR professional with 11+ years of experience building and running HR programs for growing businesses. I hold a PhD in Industrial-Organizational Psychology — which means I bring both academic rigor and real-world experience to every client engagement.
I started Repete Partners because I kept seeing the same thing: capable business owners carrying real HR risk simply because they didn’t have the right support in place. Too small for a full-time hire. Too exposed to go without.
Repete Partners exists to close that gap. The name reflects the core belief behind everything we do: that great HR isn’t a one-time fix. It’s a continuous practice of getting better — hiring better, managing better, building better.
I’m based in Raleigh and work primarily with businesses across the Triangle — close enough to show up in person when it matters.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is fractional HR?
Fractional HR gives you a senior HR professional on an ongoing, part-time basis — the expertise of an HR leader without the cost of a full-time hire. You get a dedicated partner who learns your business and is available when you need them, for a predictable monthly fee.
How much does fractional HR cost?
At Repete Partners, engagements are simple monthly retainers starting at $1,500/month, with Growth ($3,000) and Strategic ($5,500) tiers for businesses that need more support. There’s no hourly billing and no surprise invoices — just a predictable investment that scales with your needs.
What size business is fractional HR right for?
It’s a strong fit for small and mid-sized businesses that have outgrown handling HR ad hoc but don’t yet need — or can’t justify — a full-time HR director. If you’re managing compliance, hiring, employee relations, and growth without dedicated HR support, fractional HR fills that gap.
What’s included in a monthly retainer?
Every engagement is tailored to your business — we don’t do cookie-cutter packages. We start with a conversation to understand where your company is in its lifecycle and what you actually need, then build a plan around your priorities. That can include HR compliance, employee handbooks and policies, FLSA classification, employee-relations guidance, recruiting and onboarding, performance management, and HR infrastructure — but the focus is always on what moves the needle for your business, not a fixed checklist. The pricing tiers are starting points, not limits.
How is fractional HR different from a PEO?
A PEO co-employs your staff and bundles payroll and benefits, often with long contracts and less personalized guidance. Fractional HR is a dedicated advisor who works alongside your business — you keep control of your team and benefits, and get senior, strategic HR support tailored to you.
Will you replace our current HR person or software?
Not necessarily. We often work alongside an existing HR coordinator, office manager, or HR platform — adding the senior strategy, compliance oversight, and guidance they may not have. We can also help you select and set up the right HR systems.
Do you know North Carolina employment law?
Yes. We work specifically with NC businesses and stay current on North Carolina and federal requirements — at-will employment, the NC Wage and Hour Act, final-paycheck rules, required posters, FLSA classification, and more. (We provide HR guidance, not legal advice; for legal determinations we’ll point you to a qualified attorney.)
What areas do you serve?
Repete Partners serves businesses across the Raleigh-Durham Triangle — including Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, Apex, and Morrisville — working both remotely and in person when it matters.
Is there a long-term contract?
No — engagements are month-to-month, with no long-term contracts or lock-in. The goal is to be useful enough that you want to keep working together, not to tie you down.
How do we get started?
The first step is a free 30-minute call. We’ll talk through your business, your team, and where you might be exposed — no pitch. If it’s a fit, we’ll recommend the right starting tier.
Ready to take HR off your worry list?
